Chapter 23: Signing Contract

Wu Hongming's vision is well-known.

When he founded [Whale TV], he personally discovered many outstanding anchors. Now that the company's situation is not good, he has come back to serve as the head of the operation management department.

Wu Hongming saw Lu Chen singing "My Deskmate" and saw a newcomer with unlimited potential!

He was surprised that [Starlight Show] was missed.

Wu Shanshan pointed to the screen and said, "This is the chat record of the fan group. You will know after reading it."

Wu Hongming opened the text and read it carefully.

After reading it, he understood, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face. He said, "Super Manager 002 of Starlight Show? I know, it should be Zhao Deping. If it is really him, it is normal!"

He and Zhao Deping not only knew each other, but they were also friends. The grievances between the two could not be finished for days and nights.

Wu Hongming knew Zhao Deping's temper very well.

He no longer had any doubts and said to Wu Shanshan: "You did a good job. This Lu Fei is worth the effort to sign. I think he wants to keep the original copyright, so give it to him!"

After a pause, Wu Hongming added: "The signing fee is within 50,000. You come and talk to him!"

Talents are rare. Originally, Wu Hongming wanted to talk to Lu Chen in person, but he thought that it was not appropriate for him to be too eager. It might make Lu Chen have other ideas, so he let Wu Shanshan come forward to sign the contract.

This is also an opportunity and reward for Wu Shanshan. If Lu Chen becomes famous in the future, she will have made an indispensable contribution!

"Me?"

Wu Shanshan was surprised and delighted: "Boss, are you really going to let me negotiate a contract with him?"

She had just joined Whale TV not long ago and was a new employee with no qualifications. Her current job was to discover new talents on major live broadcast platforms, which was equivalent to a talent scout. She had no right to negotiate contracts.

Now Wu Hongming had delegated this power to her.

Wu Hongming smiled and said, "Go if I ask you to go. Talk to him properly. You can agree to any reasonable request. For example, if you promise to give his fans equal treatment, I agree."

"Hehe."

Wu Shanshan smiled awkwardly. She had wanted to keep Lu Jiajun, so she made an empty promise.

It was a bit rash, but Wu Hongming did not mean to criticize her.

The head of the transport management department waved his hand and said, "Stop smiling silly, go!"

Wu Shanshan quickly ran back to her desk, sat down and couldn't wait to open the Feixun group, and clicked Lu Chen's ID avatar to open the private chat interface.

At this moment, Lu Chen was still chatting with the group members in the group, talking about some small things related to himself.

There are not many people in the Lu Jiajun Feixun group, but they are all very enthusiastic and sincere. Although they have just experienced a blow, their support and encouragement have made Lu Chen not discouraged or disappointed.

With such a group of lovely fans, it's no big deal to start a new business on another platform!

Coral Fish privately chatted with him: "Master Lu Shuai, is it convenient for you to chat for a few minutes?"

Lu Chen replied: "No problem."

Coral Fish sent a smiley face and said: "I would like to ask, Master Lu Shuai, do you have any specific requirements for the contract signed with our Whale TV? Our basic contract is basically the same as that of Starlight Show, but different contract terms can be provided for different contracting parties."

Lu Chen nodded involuntarily. This attitude alone is enough to beat the super administrator of [Starlight Show] by three streets.

He recalled the contract he had read, and then put forward two opinions.

The first is the issue of original copyright. For all the original songs sung on the live broadcast platform, Lu Chen will not give up any of his rights and interests in vain. If the platform needs it, it can negotiate to purchase.

The second is the contract period. Five years is too long. He hopes to change it to two years. When the term expires in the future, he can give priority to renewing [Whale TV] under the same conditions.

Lu Chen's requirements were not very high. He had no objection to the profit sharing ratio or website recommendation, because he knew very well that he was just a newcomer and did not have the qualifications to ask for too much.

And Coral Fish, that is, Wu Shanshan, did not expect Lu Chen's requirements to be so few.

She was ready to have a friendly and intense negotiation with Lu Chen. The two sides would have to bargain back and forth for dozens of rounds and finally reach a win-win contract that satisfied everyone.

However, the reality was so cruel!

Coral Fish: "Just these two?"

Lu Chen: "Yes."

Wu Shanshan suddenly had the urge to rush into the computer, crawl along the network cable to Lu Chen, grab his collar, and shout to him, "You make me feel very unfulfilled."

Fortunately, she was still rational and quickly added, "Then how about a signing bonus of 50,000?"

Signing bonus?

Lu Chen was stunned. He had never thought that he could get a signing bonus after signing with [Whale TV].

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run away. Lu Chen knew about the signing bonus for anchors who changed jobs. He had learned a lot of common sense on the Internet, but he never thought that he could earn a signing bonus.

Currently in the circle of online anchors, when the most popular anchor "YoYo" changed jobs to [Sky Live], he once set a sky-high signing bonus of 10 million, which caused a great sensation at the time.

Although many people say that 10 million is hype and not the real signing price, it is an indisputable fact that the signing bonuses of popular anchors are getting higher and higher, and they are often hundreds of thousands or millions, and there are even examples of millions.

And Lu Chen is just a pure new anchor who has hosted two live broadcasts. It is a preferential treatment to be able to negotiate a contract with the platform, and he actually gave a signing bonus - he felt that [Whale TV] is really too generous!

Lu Chen: "No problem, thank you."

In fact, the back-and-forth between Lu Chen and Wu Shanshan fully exposed the rookie nature of the two.

Lu Chen did not mention the signing fee at all. If Wu Shanshan had some experience, she would naturally not mention it. The signing fee was saved after the contract was signed, and the boss would definitely praise her.

Lu Chen was even less experienced. The other party had already proposed the signing fee, so he could bargain with him. No matter whether it worked or not, it was always right to try, so why not?

But at this time, the two really didn't think too much.

Coral Fish: "(*^__^*), then it's decided. I'll let the boss revise the new contract first. I'll open a signing account and a live broadcast room for you first. When the contract arrives, how about the signing fee being transferred to your account?"

Lu Chen: "Okay!"

When he pressed Enter, he still didn't dare to believe it - just signed like this? Earned 50,000?

After calming down, Lu Chen said in the group chat: "Brothers, I have reached an agreement with Whale TV. I will broadcast live on Whale TV tonight. Welcome everyone to come and support me!"

Lu Chen said it a little too early because the contract has not been officially confirmed, but he was really excited and couldn't wait to let everyone share this good news.

As soon as the message sent by Lu Chen was displayed, the group chat exploded.

"Great, long live!"

"Lu Shuai is awesome, go to Starlight Show, I'm switching to Whale TV!"

"Lu Fei, what's the name of your new livestream? I'll follow it now and bring all my friends over."

"It's not open yet, is it?"

"The person in charge of signing the contract is Coral Fish, right? Is he there?"

"Yes, yes."

Coral Fish popped up in a timely manner, smiled and said, "I will open an account and livestream for Lu Shuai right away, and let everyone know as soon as possible, so there won't be any delays!"

"Also, you're welcome to send me screenshots of your Starlight Show and Whale TV account information, and I'll level you up. If you don't have a Whale TV account, you can build one yourself."

"I don't need to level up, I'm going to recharge on Whale TV now, I'm just a gold member."

"The rich are the rich, and the way they speak is called domineering, which caused a lot of people in the group to worship and beg for support.

Wu Shanshan was overjoyed and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

She finally forgot about the business and stood up to report to Wu Hongming, and immediately finalized the contract.

This time, she really caught a big fish!

"Sister Shanshan"

She just stood up from her chair, and her colleague sitting next to her suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Can you send me a copy of this anchor's video? I'm his fan!"

Wu Shanshan blinked and smiled with curved eyebrows.
